Deal done! Hjulmand leaves Sporting for Atlético Madrid; details | OneFootball

It’s a done deal. Morten Hjulmand is set to leave Sporting to strengthen Atlético de Madrid, after the two clubs reached an agreement for the transfer of the Danish midfielder. The player will travel to the Spanish capital later this Thursday.

The agreement between the Lions and the Colchoneros will see Sporting receive more than €40 million. The green-and-whites will get a fixed €40 million, to which bonuses may be added depending on objectives being met, bringing the total value of the deal to around €45 million.

On the player’s side, the agreement with the club managed by Diego Simeone is completely sealed. Hjulmand will sign a contract valid until 2031, tying him to Atlético de Madrid for the next five seasons, with the usual medical examinations expected to take place before the transfer is made official.

It should be recalled that Frederico Varandas recently revealed he had rejected an initial offer from Atlético de Madrid because he felt it fell short of Sporting’s demands. Initially, the Spaniards submitted an offer of €35 million and later raised it to €40 million.

Signed from Lecce in 2023, he quickly took on a prominent role in Sporting’s midfield, becoming team captain and one of the most influential figures in the squad. After 141 matches in the green-and-white shirt, the Denmark international is now preparing to bring his spell at Alvalade to a close.
